Move machine to the location in your plant where it is to be used a n d then remove machine from skid. See instructions below for lifting machine from skid. LEVELING MACHINE. The Hardinge HLV-H Precision Lathe is designed with a three point bearing arrangement between bed and pedestal base. The three point bearing arrangement makes accurate leveiing unnecessary. Leveling should be such a s to be reasonable and sithat coolant will properly drain back into sump from ends of pan. LIFTING MACHINE. Remove the three bolts which hold the nlachine to the shipping skids. There are two bolts at the extreme left-hand end of the pedestal and one at right-hand end. The machine may be removed from the skid by either a crane or fork lift truck. Lifting with a crane, the rope or cable sling should be arranged a s shown on this page. NEVER LIFT MACHINE WITH ROPE OR CABLE AROUND SPINDLE. BED OR TAILSTOCK. The rope or cable must be capable of withstanding a weight of 2000 pounds. When using a lift truck, adjust forks to go in betwsen top planks of skid a n d bottom of pedestal base. Lift machine slowly, checki n s to see that the correct balance is obtained. Use caution, a s machine has somewhat more weight at the front and it is more easily tipped using the lift truck method than the crane and sling method. After skid has been removed place machine directly on location where it is to be used. MACHINE FOUNDATION. The Hardinge HLV-H Precision Lathe is designed to operate without the need of special foundations. A substantial wood or concrete floor is satisfactory. It must, however, be fairly flat and have sufficient strength to support nlachine properly. Do not locate machine near other equipment that causes vibration which w ~ l ltransmit to this machine, a s poor work finish will result. a t S t e e l Bar There is a n adjustable foot at back right-hand corner of the pedestui base to compensate for uneven floor conditions. To adlust, loosen the socket set screw a n d raise or lower the foot with a pin wrench so that all four feet rest firmly on the floor. Tighten socket set screw to retain setting. Should floor conditions be such that adjustable foot does nci take care of the leveling, use shims under feet of pedestal. CLEANING MACHINE. Use a cloth or brush to clean this pr~cisior: machine. DO NOT CLEAN MACHINE WITH COMPRESSED AIR. T i i ~ use of compressed air for cleaning a machine reduces the precision life of the machine. Small particles of dirt and foreign matter can be forced past seals and wipers into the precision slides and bearings. USE ONLY CLOTH OR BRUSH TO CLEAN MACHINE. This uisc upplies to daily cleaning of unit after it is in operation. After machine has been properly located, leveled and bolted tc! flociclean off all anti-rust shipping grease and dirt accumulated in transit with a good grade of grease solvent. Remove wood shipping retainer block and wire binding from variable speed countershaft pulley assen?bly. Using a 3/4" socket wrench remove and discard shipping hold down clamps located up inside motor compartment over the top of the pulley assembly. Remove all shipping grease from variable speed vertical screw "A". Figure 1, pulleys and brake drum, with cloth dampened with solvent. Do not saturate belts with solvent Lubricate nut at grease fitting " B and oil vertical screw with light oil for first "run-in" only. Keep vertical screw lubricated hy greasing at fitting "B" usi?g a good grade of grease sllclrl crs Houghton absorbed oil #L-4%. LUBRICATE ONCE A MONTH or oftener if necessary. Add a few drops of light oil to brake drum "C". Clean motor compartment and tool storage compartment. Put bottom tool shelf in place.

Spindle Driving Unit -- Fiyure 6 The drivinq unit provides infinitely variable splndle speeds from 125 to 3000 R.P.M. by push buttori colltrol a s illustrated on Page 13. Speed changes can be made while the tool is actually "under cut" with the operator watchlny the chip a n d tool to obtain fastest chip removal and longest tool life. Figure 6 Push button controlled motor "A". Figure 6, is a reversins motor and trctuates speed changlny screw "B" which in turn raises or lowers frame "C". Frariie "C" curries the countersi-~crttpulley ussembly "D". Countershaft Pulley Assembly - Figure 6 The entire cou~~tershuft pulley ussenibly irlcludinq the shaft "F". Figure 6, is free to float from side to side. The center sheave of the ussembly is independent of the two outer sections which are in a fixed position or1 the shaft. Tlie pulley frame "C". Figure 6, is hmqed at poli~t" E and when the front end is ralsed or lowered, belt tenslon will illove the center sheave slciewuys und chcmge the ratlo between the d r ~ v e nund the drivins pulley whlch churlqes the heudstock spindle speed. The vurlable speed pulleys have u built-ln lubrlccttinq system. Run the rnachine, each d a y , illrough a co~iipletecycle froni 125 to 3000 R.P.M.to lubricate the pulleys und keap tlie~noperating effic~ently. Belt Adjustment - Figure 6 By raisins or lowering the motor plate, proper belt tension can be obtained. Due to the construct,ion of the drivinq unit the tension of the motor belt and spindle belt are automatically equalized. BELT TENSION SHOULD BE CHECKED ONCE A WEEK, especially when the machine is new. To check belt tension, first set brake switch to "OFF. Start machine spindle shut off and allow to coast to a stop. THE BELTS SHOULD NOT BE STRETCHED, YET ADJUSTED SO THERE IS NO LOOSENESS. To tighten belts, loosen nut "G", Fiqure 6, and turn set screw "H" clockwise. Make adjustment in small umounts and run machine between each setting to permit belts to "equalize". IF BELTS SLIP WHEN ADJUSTED TO PROPER TENSION. THE MACHINE IS BEING OVERLOADED. Centrifugal force tends to tighten belts when running. Belt Adjustment - Continued Aiter propsr setting, lock nut "G", Figure 6, and reset brake switch to "BRAKE. "r, Drive shaft bearings located at Figure 6,are precision ball bearing type, grease packed and sealed and require no further attention. Drive shaft "F", Figure 6, is coated with "MOLYLUBE so it will slide freely. The belts and driving unit ure protected from "overtravel" by a set of stops "K", Figt~re6. The two stops "K" are set at the factory and actuate elsctri-: limit switches and automatically shut off the speed changing nlechanism when it reaches the low speed of 125 or the high specd of 3000. The two stops "L". Figure 6, are also set at the factory and are positive mechanical stops in case the electric limit switches fail. NOTE: If the speed changing mechanism does not work, check instructions on Pages 10 and 1 1. Spindle Driveshaft Brake Fiqure 7 The spindle driveshaft brake is designed for rapid but srudual stopping of the precision headstock spindle. The brake is "tied in" with the control lever " A . Page 12, and is released when the machine is turned on and applied when the machine is turned off. Spindle Driveshaft Brake - - Continued After adjustment relock set screw " A . Figure 7 DO NOT ADJUST "E". Figure 7, which has been set at the factory to hold alignment key for the brake shoe housing. DO NOT RUN BRAKE DRY. Add a few drops of light oil to the brake drum periodically which will keep the brake insert pliable. If machine is braked often - oil daily. Braking time is from 2 to 3 seconds. CAUTION: Do not allow brake insert to become worn enough to allow insert housing "F", Figure 7, to score brake drum. TO REPLACE BRAKE INSERT, loosen set screw "A", Figure 7, and unscrew nut "B". Fiqure 7, and remove housing " F , Fiqure 7. Knock out old insert. Trim off small end of new insert until it bottoms and is a snug fit in tapered hole of housing. When reassembling, line up keyway of housing with key before starting adjusting nut "B", Figure 7. Set clearance to ,003" to .005" a s explaincd before and relock sei screw " A . Figure 7. Main drive motor " B , Figure 8, and variable speed motor "C". Figure 8, have grease sealed ball bearings and need no further attention. Figure 7 TO RELEASE BRAKE for a "FREE SPINDLE" turn brake switch to " O F F a s shown on Page 13. The brake drum " D , Figure 7, is located directly on the main motor drive shaft. The brake is actuated by a solenoid located under cover "A". Figure 8, Page 17 and is accessible from rear of machine by removing motor ventilator screen. Adjusting screws "D" and "E". Figure 8, are set at the factory and are for alignment of the countershaft in relation to main drive motor and spindle headstock pulley. The brake shoe insert "C". Flgure 7, is forced against the brake drum by means of a powerful sprlng. The spring automatically compensates for brake wear. However, after considerable use it may be necessary to adlust. To Adjust Brake - -- Fiqure 8 Figure 7 With brake in released or " O F F position, loosen set screw " A . Figure 7 and turn adjusting screw "B" to the right with a pin wrench until there is .003" to .005" clearance between the insert "C" and drum "D". 1? TO REMOVE MOTOR BELT Run countershaft carrier bracket to top pos~tion(highest spindle speed settinq). Turn brake control selector switch to "OFF". Remove nut and steel washer from motor plate hold down bolt and raise motor plate 2" to S" and block. Remove brake drum from motor shaft by taking out four lock screws and set screws. The four keyways in the pulley brake drum are numbered. When removing pulley note the keyway number that the motor shaft key is in so it can be assembled in the same location. Roll head belt off of countershaft pulley then slide countershaft pulley assembly to extreme right. Pass head belt and motor belt around and off end of shaft. Put new motor belt in place. Replace head belt on countershaft and reassemble. FOR PROPER BELT ADJUSTMENT REFER TO PAGE 15. Figure A TO REMOVE HEADSTOCK BELT Follow instructions "How To Remove Motor Belt" steps 1 through 5. Pass head belt around and off end of shaft. Remove switch pull rod that goes through belt. Remove collet closer, see Page 23. Remove handwheel snap ring and handwheel. Remove handwheel spindle key, spring spacer and washer. Remove both back covers from gear box. Remove snap ring in front of idler gear bearing. Screw push screw "m" to remove gear, shaft and hearing. Remove lock screws in shifter yoke, unscrew shaft with 1/4" B hex key wrench in end of shaft and pull shait purt wuy oc;t (approx. 5"). 11.

Continue to turn until key " D is in line with reference mark "E", then remove from spindle by sliding to right off end of spindle. IMPORTANT - to obtain accurate results from precision spindle nose attachment always be sure the spindle nose and mating section in attachment are CLEAN BEFORE THEY ARE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER. DO NOT REMOVE KEY " D TO REMOVE SPINDLE NOSE TOOLING. IT IS THE SLOW WAY AND WILL INTERFERE WITH FUTURE ACCURATE OPERATION OF THE ATTACHMENT. Figure 10 Figure 9 SPINDLE COLLET KEY - - Fwure 9 HOW TO APPLY AND REMOVE SPINDLE NOSE TOOLING Figures 9 and 10 The Hctrdlnqe Taper Nose splrldle corlstructlon is tune-proven for accuracy, durublllty and for fast, easy application and removal of spirldle nose tooling. The precision ground slow taper holds and allgns all toollrlg The pln in crll headstock spindle nose tooling ensages the bayonet slot "A", to draw the attucllmellt securely on the taper. Once securely drawn up, the spindle nose attachnient IS actually drlven by the lockllls uction of the tapered surface. BEFORE APPLYING ANY ITEM OF TOOLING TO THE SPINDLE NOSE WIPE THE SPINDLE NOSE AND ATTACHMENT MATING SECTION CLEAN. TO APPLY the drive plate for driving dog, for example, align key " D , Figure 10, with bayonet slot and slide drive plate on spindle nose. When it is back a s fur a s it will go turn the drive plate clockwise to lock in place. This is determined by the relation of the key " D and spindle reference line " E . Final tightening should be done with a standard pin type spanner wrench. (Use Williams or Armstrong spanner wrench No. 460. Do not use hammer and punch.) The spindle collet key "C". Figure 9, is threaded into the spindle und can be removed and replaced, in the event of wear or damage, without removing the headstock, spindle or spindle bearlnqs. Use a 3 '32" hexagon pin wrench to remove lock screw; then remove cnllet key screw with same hexagon pin wrench. LUBRICATION OF HEADSTOCK SPINDLE BEARINGS The headstock spindle is mounted 07 precision prelouded ball beurinqs. The preloading and resulting load currying capuclty is engineered tc take radial thrust or end thrust, or a conlbination of both. The precision preloaded ball bearings ure qrease-packed for life and require no further lubrication. The entire hearing assenlbly is lioused a s a unit and is properly sealed to exclcde dirt and foreign matter. The spindle bearing seals are designed to operats at high speed without wear or friction. There are occasions on a new machine when some of the excess grease in the spindle bearings will work its way out of the opening at the bottom of the front bearing cup. The appearance of this excess grease does not affect the spindle lrearlnqs nor the fact that they are grease packed for life. HOW TO REMOVE COLLET CLOSER Figures 1 1 und 12 - The collet closer should be removed from tile machine when usim law chucks, face plates, fixture plutes or other nose type fixtures. Runninq the niachlne wlth the collet closer in place without a collet will cause dumage to the collet closer. To remove the cnllet closer remove link pin " H , Fiqure 11. This pin is eusily removed by the use of a mallet and brass punch, striking pin at bottom. CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE COLLET CLOSER BY REMOVING SCREW "E". Fiqure 11. This screw is adjusted properly at the factory for proper operatien of collet closer. Remove link pin "H", Figure 11, only. After renloviny pin "H"remove collet closer a s shown in Figure 12. It is then necessary to remove adjusting nut " A , Figure 12. This is done by pulling nut straight off end of spindle. D O NOT TURN Figure 1 1 ADJUSTING COLLET CLOSER - Fiyure 1 1 1.

To turn the collet clnser tube, the operator, using his left hand, turns the black shell quurd "C", Figure 11, forward while he holds the collet or step chuck in pluce with his right hund. 4. Place u work piece in the collet cr step chuck. 5. Move lever "D", Fiqure 11, to the extreiiie !*it or closed positiori and then turn shell juurd "C" towurd the opercrior until it is drawn up a s fur a s it will yo by hand. If hecrdstock sgiiidle should turn, lock sr;indle by pressing in spindle lock pill "D",Figure 3, Pcrse 12. To enyuqe lock pin into notches provided, :urn the spindle by hand until pin enters notch to lock. 6. Move lever "D" forward to the relecrsed position and turn shell guard "C" toward operator so thut latch " A udvcrnces two notches on the udjustiiiq nut. 7. Close latch "A" and test collet closer for terlsioil on work. Should additional grippiny pressure on tlie work be requ~red,open latch "A" and turn shell guard "C" towurd operator. For less gripping pressure, turn shell guard "C" awcry from opercrtor. The two nd~ustlngscrews crnd lock nuts located crt "E". Fiyure 11, are set cii the fuctory, By ud~ustmentof lock nuts "E. lever yoke "F" is raised or lowered so tl~ereis 1x0 pressure or, beuring "G". The collet closer should be removed periodically for cleaning to prevent loading of chips between collet closer tube und inside of spindle at rear end. APPLYING COLLET CLOSER - - Fiyuro 12 Clean the inside of the headstock spindle before applyinq collet closer. Also, clean outside diameter ut rear of spindle where adjusting nu! locates. Clean collet closer tube inside and out. Apply a film of light oil on rear of headstock spindle and apply adlustins nut " A , Fiqure 12. Apply a film of light oil on bearing secticn "B", Figure 12, of collet closer tube and slide closer on muchine and insert link pin " H , Fiyure 11. SLIDE COLLET CLOSER TUBE INTO HEADSTOCK SPINDLE CAREFULLY. D O NOT FORCE. If it does not go in easily, remove and check for dirt, chips or burrs. CAUTION: When threading draw tube onto collet crnd it does not turn freely by hund, remove it at once and check collet threads and draw tube threads, lookiris for dirt, chips or durnaged tlireads. Also check inside diameter at reur end of headstock spindle and outside reur berrrins diarnet~r(if drcrw tub^ Figure 12 CARRIAGE AND APRON - Continued Three follower rest mounting holes " G , Figure 13 are plugged with a screw to keep clean until used. Tapped hole " H . Figure 13, is for mounting carriage indicator stop. The hole is plugged with a screw to keep it clean until used. The micrometer portion of the stop is clamped to the dovetail bed.

Handle is shown in released position - to lock pull forward. Apron and Clutch Lubrication Lubricate carriage clutch and apron once a week at "J", Figure 13, Page 24. Maintain oil level in sight gage " K . Figure 13. Use Mobilfluid 200, a Mobil product, automatic transmission fluid type A or equal. Change oil every 60 days using drain plug located at bottom of apron. POWER FEED CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT FOR CARRIAGE AND CROSS SLIDE Figure 15 Figure 15 The power teed clutches are of the friction type designed to slip when overloaded, which protects the tool a s well us the machine. The c l u t c h ~ srrre cr spring loaded arrangenlent and cannot be adjusted for rnore pulling power. If the clutch sllps under cut it IS cr sign of improper or dull tool or excessive feed. The clutch adjustinent is necessary for assembly purposes and is set crt the factory and should not be changed. If for some reason the clutch is taken apart it is necessary to readjust. To reach nut for adjustment remove metal cover a s shown at " A and "B". Figure 15. Cover is threaded and has two spanner holes. Use 1,/2" end wrench a n d adjust a s shown at " B . Figure 15. When properly adjusted clutch will "release" when bull lever is ubout 15" below horizontal. Three holes "A". Figure 16, in cross slide are for positioning and locking taper uttachinent. Hole "'B". Figure 16, 1s for mounting coolunt hose and nozzle supporting bracket and "C", Figure 16, is tapped hole for locking screw for bracket. Bolt "D". Figure 16, is to release cross slide nut when using taper attachment. See Page 56 for coinplete instructions on taper attachment. Cover "E", Figure 16, encloses tool post slide screw. It is necessary to remove cover before removing slide. It is good practice to occasionally rernove slide for clecrning crnd lubrlcution of screw crnd nut. Figure 16 Fiqure 17 The quick acting handle " A . for compound slide, Figure 17, is used when threading or turning to withdraw tool on return of carriage. Carriage bed wipers "B", Figure 17, are of hardened and ground steel mounted at both ends of carriage. Wipers are spring backed to hold wiper to carriage. CARRIAGE AND BEDWAY LUBRICATION Fill pressure lubricator reservoir at " C . Figure 17. Use MOBIL VACTRA Oil No. 2 a Mobil product or equivalent. Siqht gage "D". Figure 17, will indicate oil level.

Tighten cap screw "C" and replace cover "B" und bolt "A". then test for backlash. Figure 18 POWER FEED FOR CARRIAGE The carriage feed is powered by a direct current, totally enclosed, ball bearing motor mounted on the carriage. The motor is connected to the clutch acsembly by a worm gear. 110 volt alternating current is fed from the main electric control panel at the left-hand end of the pedestal base to the power feed control panel at the right-hand end of the machine. Here it is converted by selenium rectifiers to direct current for the power feed motor. The electric cable from control panel to power feed motor is of oil resistant neoprene. To start the power teed, position the "SELECTOR" switch to the "LEFT position. Machine must be running before power feed will operats. The "LEFT-RIGHT" switch is used to reverze the power feed motor. Selzct the direction of feed required by positioning the "LEFT-RIGHT" ~ position carriage selector switch accordingly. When placed i - "LEFT" will feed toward left or toward headstock. When in "RIGHT" position carriage will feed toward right. When placed in "STOP" position power feed motor is off. In operation, the carriage is advanced with tlie handwheel until the turning or boring tool is next to the work. Then, the carriage clutch is engaged. The rate of carriage feed cun then be increased or decreased by turning the feed control knob on the electric control panel. The rate of feed is determined by material beiny cut and tlie finish required. The rate oi feed inay be chunyed while the tool is under cut. Experience has shown thut it is best to 1~1cike a few sample pieces to determine the spindle speed and rate of teed thut is best suited to give desired surface firiish and production rate. When 11lcrkirig the test run, record t21e number at which the power feed control knob was set when best resrllts were obtained. Then, on the production run the operator can set the control knob to the reference nurcbers on the fuce of the control panel and obtain the same results a s the test run. They do not replesont either thousandths per revolution or inches per minute. IMPORTANT: Betore turning splndle, release spindle brake to oDtalr1 free spindle - see ~nstructlonson Puge 13.

Step chucks take over on sizes above the regular collet capacity, providing colletlike accuracy, convenience, and precision results a s with collets. WHEN USING STEP CHUCKS: Analytical consideration of the gripping pressure applied on the work by a step chuck clearly shows one of tlie advcrntages of using step chucks. Note how WORK HELD IN STEPCHUCK WORK REMOVED FROM STEP CHUCK 5C HARDINGE STEP CHUCKS A step chuck is exceptionally useful for crccurutely holdirlq work Ic~rqertllcln 1-1: 16" in diameter up to 6" in diameter. Tubing can be held withol~ti:riisllirlg or distorting. The step chuck will rrlso hold ccrstinqs, moldir~crs,stilmpinss crnd nlcrchined parts rigidly and accurcrtely. The sta~ldcirdLcrll betrriny lever operated collet closer is used to close the step chuck. Ti-~estep chuck is closed by the tcrper on the periphery secrtiny in the taper of the closer. REGULAR DEPTH CAPACITY step chucks and closers are ccrrried in stock in 2", 3", 4", 5" and 6'' sizes for irilnlediate delivery. They are 3,'8" larger in diameter thcrin the rated size, so the full capacity mcly he reudily c~yplied. Steps nay be applied to cr depth of $'8" in these reyulcrr step chucks.

ARROWS INDICATE UNIFORM GRIPPING PRESSURE DIAMETER TRUE the gripping pressure is uniformly distributed over the entire circunference of the work. The iarge gripping area prevents distortion and elinlinates nlarkinq ot the work. WHEN USING JAW CHUCKS: Studied consideration of the gripping pressure upplied on the work by a juw chuck clearly shows the disadvclntuye of usins jaw chucks for precision work. WORK HELD IN JAW CHUCK AND BORED WORK REMOVED FROM JAW CHUCK STEP CHUCK CLOSERS' A closer is required for each size step chuck. The closer fits directly to the n~cxchii-~e spindle crnd has a taper correspondinq to the taper or1 the periphery oi the step chuck for closing the step chuck.

Long cylindrical work held between centers requires u steady rest tc. prevent such work from springing away from a cutting 1001. A steady rest is also used when there are machining operations to be perfor~ned on the end of work which prohibits the use of the tailstock center. The three jaws are adjustable and have a n accurate fit in the machined guides of the body. The top section is hinged to provide ease in loading shoulder work without disturbing the setting of the jaws. The s t ~ a d yrest has a maximum capacity of 3". MALE CENTER This male center has a 11;'16" head diameter and is furnished with nll Hardinge tailstocks. All centers are hardened and ground. FEMALE CENTER A female center is used for work that cannot have the usual center hole. The 1lIf16" head has a 60" conical hole 1,'8" in diameter at the large end. RADIUS TURNING ATTACHMENT Thls uttachment fastens directly to the dovetall bed, a s shown above, und is used for prec~sionturning concave or convex surfaces up to 1-1, 2" radius. Useful for turning punches, dies, ball shaped valve seats and special spherical cutting tools. The swivel slide is mounted on precision preloaded ball bearlnys for arcuracy crnd rlyidity. The swivel slide moves through 360'. Hard rned feed screws crre mounted on preloaded ball bearings and have adjustable d ~ a l sgraduated in thousandths of a n inch. HALF CENTER A half center is used if tool clearance is desired when turning the iull length of a part supported by the tailstock. The head diameter is 11 :16". LAMP This fluorescent lamp is available for use with the Hardinge HLV-H Lathe. The lamp fastens to the back of the lathe bed and operates from the regular 110 volt light line.
